techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-10-11 18:03:40

OpenAI announced Monday that it’s releasing a new version of GPT-5 to its AI coding agent, Codex. The company says its new model, called GPT-5-Codex, spends its “thinking” time more dynamically than previous models, and could spend anywhere from a few seconds to seven hours on a coding task. As a result, it performs better on agentic coding benchmarks. The new model is now rolling out in Codex products — which can be accessed via a terminal, IDE, GitHub, or ChatGPT — to all ChatGPT Plus, Pro, B

Fixing Hallucinations Would Destroy ChatGPT, Expert Finds

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-11 21:33:13

In a paper published earlier this month, OpenAI researchers said they'd found the reason why even the most powerful AI models still suffer from rampant "hallucinations," in which products like ChatGPT confidently make assertions that are factually false. They found that the way we evaluate the output of large language models, like the ones driving ChatGPT, means they're "optimized to be good test-takers" and that "guessing when uncertain improves test performance."

Death to type classes

The ‘Futurama’ Binge Season Is Stuffed With Sly Commentary and Sci-Fi Delights

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-11 22:00:16

Futurama’s new season is being called its 13th by Hulu, but the show, which premiered in 1999, has had a stop-and-start presence over the years across Fox, Comedy Central, and straight-to-video movies. The show’s latest season—its third on Hulu—is again treading new ground, getting an all-in-one binge release. One consistent element across Futurama’s discombobulated history has been its loyal fans, so it seems unlikely that dropping the entire season in one go will be a strike against it. Still
